PHP 5.2.9 imap compile note
I recently upgraded a Debian system from etch to lenny, which bumped the version of UW’s IMAP C-Client library from libc-client2002edebian to libc-client2007b. Unfortunately the old packages (and their header files) were still sitting around, waiting to ruin my afternoon.
Compiling php 5.2.9 in this environment resulted in the error:
php_imap.c:84: error: conflicting types for ‘utf8_mime2text’
Looks a lot like this bug and a few others, eh?
I removed the old c-client packages, and reinstalled the libc-client2007b and libc-client2007b-dev (use apt-get install —reinstall libc-client2007b-dev).
Make distclean in the php directory, reconfigure, and now php compiles like a champ.
